Patent EP-0849883-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KUSUMOTO KEIICHI
IPC: H03M1/14
Filed: 1993-10-01
Abstract: The present invention discloses an improved analog-to-digital
converter. A second sampling circuit samples the
voltage difference between an analog signal and a reference
voltage, before a first sampling circuit moves to a follow
operation from a sample operation. Owing to pipelining by
the first and second sampling circuits, even after the first
sampling circuit moves to a follow operation, the difference
between an analog signal and a reference voltage is still
applied to a logical-level amplifier. The output of the
logical-level amplifier, amplified to a logical voltage, is
converted by a logic device into an A/D conversion output.
Therefore, ADC differential non linearity error can be
reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for mixing
thin films of fluid, particularly thin films of chemical,
biochemical, or biological fluids undergoing reactions. The
invention employs a mixing mechanism (18) which induces
mixing within the fluid chamber (14) by moving the inner
face (4) of at least one surface (2) of the fluid chamber
(14) relative to the inner face (10) of another surface (8)
of the fluid chamber (14), thus enhancing the sensitivity or
specificity of the reaction, rate of reaction, extent of
reaction, homogeneity, or percentage yield. The invention
is particularly useful in enhancing the results of chemical
and biological assays.

Abstract: An alignment mark AM appears on the surface of an aluminum
(Al) wiring layer 110 when the Al wiring layer is formed to fill
up a recess 108 therewith, the recess 108 being formed in oxide
layers 104 and 106 formed over the surface of a silicon substrate
102 by etching these layers in part. The depth of the recess 108
is controlled such that there is formed no direct contact between
the Al wiring layer 110 and the metallic silicon of the silicon
substrate 102. Consequently, in the process of forming the
alignment mark, the Al wiring layer 110 is prevented from
chemically reacting with the metallic silicon. Thus, there is
caused neither deterioration in the quality of oxide films 104
and 106, nor destruction of the alignment mark AM appearing on
the surface of the Al wiring layer 110, even if the Al wiring
layer 110 is formed by sputtering aluminum on oxide layers and
the recess as well at a high temperature.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing polarization hole burning in a rare-earth-doped
fiber amplifier within an optical communication system by converting an optical
carrier having a characteristic wavelength into a polarization-rotating optical carrier is
disclosed. The apparatus includes a polarization-fixing device optically coupled in the
optical transmission system to transform the optical carrier to a polarized optical carrier,
and an acousto-optic modulator positioned to receive a first portion of the polarized optical
carrier and to orthogonally convert the polarization of the polarized optical carrier and to
shift the polarized optical carrier by a modulation frequency. The apparatus and method
further includes a polarization beam combiner optically coupled to receive the orthogonally
polarization converted and frequency shifted polarized signal and a portion of the original
polarized optical carrier. The polarization beam combiner produces a polarization-rotating
carrier signal that is transmitted downstream in the optical communication system to a
rare-earth-doped fiber amplifier.

Abstract: L'identification et la quantification des constituants d'un échantillon sont effectuées à l'aide d'électrophérogrammes basés sur la mobilité obtenus à partir de l'électrophorèse capillaire, les mobilités étant normalisées par une correction zéro suivie par la division par la mobilité d'un marqueur sélectionné. La correction zéro est obtenue soit par rapport à un marqueur séparé, soit par un calcul basé sur le même marqueur. Les électrophérogrammes qui en résultent sont plus reconnaissables étant donné qu'ils ressemblent plus étroitement aux motifs de séparation balayés obtenus avec des gels plans, et les constituants individuels de l'échantillon sont identifiés plus facilement et avec plus de fiabilité étant donné que leur position dans l'électrophérogramme est pratiquement constante d'un électrophérogramme à l'autre et, partant, reproductible avec un degré élevé de précision.

Abstract: In a system where a plurality of mobile terminals shares a data of the server, upon issuing an update request data of server from the mobile terminals, without depending on the stability of the communication method used by the mobile terminals, a fair data updating becomes possible which only relies on an issuing order of the update request. In the present system, the clock module is provided to all the mobile terminals and the server having a synchronized time. The mobile terminal adds the update request issuing time obtained from the timing module to the update request data upon issuing the update request data, and the update request data is repeatedly sent until the server receives it. During the repeated transmission, an issuing time attached to the update request is identical to the original issuing time, and the server processes the data update request received within the update request reception period in an order of the issuing time.
